which is a stronger reducing agent cr+3 and Fe+2 and why?

Answers

Answered by dhaygude764

6

As we know that, the more negative the electrode potential greater is the reducing power of the electrode. The highest oxidation state for Cr is +6, therefore it can loose 3 more electrons, whereas Fe needs to loose only 1 electron to achieve its highest oxidation state of +3. Thus, Cr3+ is more reducing than Fe2+.
